She didn't take her medications.
The fact that it took her less than a week after being given some additional privileges (come and go from her halfway house) to violate the terms of her release pretty much ensures that she'll spend some time in jail. The lady is crazy and doesn't care.

(For background: She was banned from ORD, MDW, Amtrak stations and Greyhound bus depots -- and she was wearing an electronic monitoring bracelet. I'm sure authorities knew she was bound for O'Hare before she stepped through the door of the airport.)

She needs doctors, not jailers.

Exactly! She was barred from ORD, MDW, Amtrak station, and Greyhound bus, as well. She's restricted. She's trying to go to airports, and now, she got arrested again. No reason to be there. Every time that she was being caught by Chicago police, TSA and the airlines, as well.

I know you would like this. It's a very long story for stowaway lady.

Yeah, I learned that from Sydney Friedman on MASH in the early 80s.

FWIW, she has a doppelganger operating in the Philippines, who last year snuck past security at Boracay and made it all the way to Seoul Korea with no ticket, money or passport. Korean authorities finally picked her up attempting to sneak past Korean immigration.

Well, did they arrested her? She was not supposed to be. She's trying to sneaks past at security without a ticket. She could be arrested for trespassing charges.

And now, they increased her bond and her bond was set at $200,000

And now, they increased her bond, and her bond was set at $200,000.

http://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local...#ixzz40WzYLXHQ

Less than two weeks after Marilyn Hartman was granted freedom to transfer out of a high-security locked psychiatric facility, the so-called "serial stowaway" was ordered held on $200,000 bond following another airport arrest.
She was not supposed to be there. She must stay away from airports. She went to terminal 2, and they notify the authorities, and placed her into custody. She could faced up a year in jail.

Thumbs down Woman boarded plane without boarding pass

I was on a flight last night where a woman boarded the plane without a boarding pass. When the person whose seat she sat in boarded, she was discovered and escorted off the plane.

How did she get that far? I tweeted American Airlines but they swept it under the rug "internally". Should this not go farther? If you agree, how?

I'm not sure this is a post appropriate for the practical for

posters keep it to practical responses and questions about the situation I'm happy to leave it here; otherwise it will go off to the debate forum.

Remember the serial stowaway that keeps getting in the news? The security really isn't that good.
